Foreword
Among various applications of nanotechnology, exploration of biological properties of nanoparticles has drawn tremendous attention in the past decade. The biomedical impacts of nanotechnology are twofolds: applications to benefit human health, such as disease diagnosis and treatment, and the exposure-related toxicities to the human body and the pollution to environment. This book intends to give a snapshot of these important impacts. A clear direction in the next phase of research is to expand exploration and applications of nanotechnology in medical and healthcare areas. By further understanding of unique properties of nanomaterials, novel reagents, medicines, and protocols will be develope
